Chapter 105 Data Poaching (Add 4000 words)
Today is not going to court, Ji Chong is sitting in the study, and officials and staff are standing in the study.

Everyone looked at His Highness Momoxin's new book boy, and saw him standing in front of His Highness's desk, quickly calculating, "Back to Your Highness, the Everbright Canal, from south to north, can produce 8 yuan a year." Seven hundred and eighty thousand taels of tax."

"Hiss..." Everyone took a breath.

Su Juesong sighed and said, "Master Qian..."

Qian Yuan was taken aback by being called an adult at first glance, "Master Su..." quickly bowed in salute.

"It's not worth talking on paper."

Qian Yuan was immediately unconvinced, "I'm not talking on paper, I'm using data to reflect the facts."

"The fact is that only 20 taels of the Grand Canal go into the national treasury every year."

Qian Yuan held his abacus in his hands and remained silent. These were not topics that a new official like him could pick up.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Ji Chong glanced over.

Although Qian Yuan was trembling with fright, he quickly saluted, and after the salute, he still didn't speak.

Ji Chong frowned.

A group of people followed the regent's gaze and looked at Qian Yuan.

He was like a light on his back, "This...that..." Miss Shen only asked him to do the math, he had already done the math, so what else should he say.

Ji Chong snorted coldly, "You are allowed to prepare some stomachache medicine."

"..." In the winter, Qian Yuan was so scared that he was in a cold sweat. God, is your Highness right or irony, he... he can't understand!

Su Juesong was taken aback for a moment, but immediately came to his senses, wanted to laugh, but held back, seeing his stupidity, reminded him, "You don't have to hurry."

Now that he didn't understand anymore, Qian Yuan didn't have to mess around in the officialdom anymore, and left the palace in a hurry with the red sandalwood abacus of the Prince Regent's Palace in between.

He didn't realize that, entering and exiting the palace was like entering no man's land.

At Tongtai Inn, Shen Chuxia packed up and prepared to go back to Yunbei Town, but was stopped by Lu Qi, "Miss Shen, what should I do next?"

"Go back to the post and continue working."

"I'm the only one in the station of nine people, how can I do it?" He wanted to cry helplessly.

"Then recruit people!"

"Who to recruit and what kind of people to recruit?"

Shen Chuxia smiled, "Look, all the questions you ask are on point, which means that you have already made up your mind."

"I..." Lu Qi smiled uglier than crying, "What's the use of me thinking, I need someone to support me, and those who support me have to recruit me some obedient and capable people."

Shen Chuxia shook her head again, "This is just one of them, it's not important."

"Is there anything more important?"

"Of course, hurry up and take all the rivers in the capital into your bag!"

"But... is it possible?"

"You have captured the most important Grand Canal, so what are the Weihe River and other tributaries?"

Lu Qi's spirit shook, but his morale was gone in an instant, "How can I win it all by myself."

Shen Chuxia turned his eyes away, "Why do you think Mr. Shen has not appointed the gatekeeper?"

"No one available?"

"As long as you know."

"Then... how to solve it?" The problem came back again, and Lu Qi bowed to her: "I also ask Miss Shen to give me a suggestion."

Shen Chuxia could only accept her fate, "Okay."

Lu Qi rushed over.

Shen Chuxia said, "The first point is to re-establish the river management rules..."

"What... what..." Lu Qi's tongue was tied. He had just entered the officialdom, and he hadn't been used as a donkey by others. How could he become a rule-maker? Wouldn't he have reached the sky in one step?
"Of course, all rule-making must be within the laws of the Great Wei Dynasty."

"I... don't understand at all!" Lu Qi was really crying now, what kind of law did he know except stereotyped articles.

"As a manager, you only need to know, you don't need to understand."

"..." Miss Shen, are you sure your words are not inconsistent?
Shen Chuxia smiled and said, "Someone understands."

"Who?"

"At the beginning of the year, there was an old man with a white beard who often went to the library. Do you have any impression?"

Lu Qi shook his head, "At that time, Guang was busy preparing for the scientific examination, so I didn't remember it."

Shen Chuxia sighed, "Lord Lu..."

"Miss Shen, I know I'm wrong." Lu Qi promised, "In the future, I must pay more attention to my surroundings. In addition to saving my life, I should also find different people and different things. Maybe these may be help in times of crisis. "

"Ruzi can be taught."

Lu Qi was embarrassed by the praise: "Thank you, Miss Shen, for your compliment, please tell me about White Beard."

Shen Chuxia found out that the old man was called Zhu Bang through the old Hantuo. At the beginning, she only noticed that he was different from others. He was looking for books on law and finance. In ancient times, there were not many people who liked these books. A man of a powerful family.

And he was indeed born into a noble family. His ancestors were the founding heroes of the country. Later, when he was Emperor Xianxian, he was framed by the emperor's favourites, and almost wiped out his family. Fortunately, there was a loyal intercessor at that time, who only confiscated his family property and demoted him to a commoner.

"How do you know he understands river courses?" Lu Qi asked curiously.

Shen Chuxia said, "No, he doesn't understand river courses."

"..." Lu Qi was stunned.

"He knows how to formulate a reasonable financial ratio." This is the draft paper that Shen Chuxia has seen left behind by him. It is about the macro-control rules of taxation in the Great Wei Dynasty. A small river should not be a problem.

Lu Qi was dying of anxiety, "Then let's go quickly." He got up and walked out the door, bumping into Qian Yuan who came in to look for Shen Chuxia.

"Master Lu, you are here too."

"Oh, Mr. Lu, my name is Luchou."

"Then you call me money-worried."

"Haha..." The two couldn't help but smile bitterly, "I'm looking for Mrs. Shen, and we can talk later when I have time!"

Shen Chuxia looked at the abacus under his armpit, and immediately understood what he was doing, but said, "This abacus looks quite valuable, a gift for me in return? Xi Xin accepts it."

Before Qian Yuan could react, the abacus was taken away, "This...then..."

Shen Chuxia stood up with a smile, "Since you are here, let's go together."

"Where are you going..." After a long time, Qian Yuan came back to his senses and shouted from behind, "Wait for me..."

It was dusk when the two arrived at Huaizao Alley.

"Miss Shen, isn't the alley next door where you once rented?" Lu Qi was puzzled.

"Yes."

Qian Yuan was puzzled, "Miss Shen, Master Lu, why haven't you said anything yet?"

"Please help."

"Who? What help?"

Shen Chuxia didn't return, Lu Qi shrugged, "I'll find out later."

"Asarum—" Shen Chuxia looked behind her.

Asarum and Fennel have a lot of things in their hands - rice, noodles, meat and vegetables in oil and salt sauce, everything.

Qian and Lu looked at each other in blank dismay.

Shen Chuxia smiled and said, "Can you come empty-handed for the first time?"

Lu and Qian had no money, and they were embarrassed for a while.

The cold current is from north to south, all the way south, the last few leaves of the branches are falling in the cold wind, and the outdoors are instantly freezing.

The singing and dancing in the Jiaofang Division promotes peace, and it is like a spring scene.

A group of playboys were sitting on the balcony, eating, drinking and drinking prostitutes. They were as happy as gods. Some people saw Gao Chen sitting alone and approached him as if to fawn on him, "Brother Chen, the new chick can pinch water, do you want to try it?"

newcomer?Isn't that the family of the river guard?It was true that which pot was not opened and which pot was lifted, Gao Chen swung the cup out of his hand, and the young master who came up to him was smashed in an instant.

"Chen..." He really wanted to scold what the hell you want to do, but his actions were like a soft-footed shrimp, saving people repeatedly.

Gao Chen glanced at the children of these aristocratic families. They are the real dandies who are drunk and dreaming of death, and they are the devil kings who live today and don't want to see tomorrow.

"Brother Chen... Chen..." The dandies watched him sway away from Jiaofangsi.

Seeing him coming out, the servant at the door hurried forward and said in a low voice, "Master, the lady surnamed Shen has gone to Zhu's house."

"The Zhu family?"

"The Zhu family in Houyong Mansion who was demoted more than ten years ago."

"Immortal Zhu Bang?"

"Exactly." The boy said, "Master, do they want to overturn the Zhu family's case?"

Gao Chen glanced over.

The boy's legs trembled in fright, "Yes, I will go and find out what they want to do right away."

After getting into the carriage, he said, "Go to Zhang Ji Restaurant."

"Yes, sir."

A cold wind suddenly picked up, and the paper on the window of the study rattled, Mu Tong hurriedly said, "It was blown loose by the little parrot yesterday, and I will mend it tomorrow."

Ji Chong put down his pen, walked to the window, looked at the window paper, "Come here—"

"Your Highness..."

"Get dressed and go out."

Mu Tong hurriedly asked the servant to change the clothes and arrange the crown for His Highness, he said cautiously, "Today evening, Miss Shen went to the city with Lords Lu and Qian."

"Go to the city."

"Yes, Your Highness."

The Zhu family has been in decline for more than ten years, and it has long been no different from ordinary civilians. The small courtyard is full of children and grandchildren.

Zhu Bang, who is in his 60s, has a white head and white beard, is tall and thin, and has an unmarried granddaughter Caiwei by his side to take care of the daily life and food. "Let's sit down and eat together."

Caiwei shook her head, "No, mother asked me to feed my brother."

The old man didn't say anything after listening, but he divided some of the rice in the bowl and put it aside, "After feeding my brother, come and eat."

"No, Grandpa, I've already taken my share."

"Can it be your turn to eat?"

Caiwei pursed her lips.

"Go, come and clear the table early."

"Yes, Grandpa." Caiwei took the bowl in her hand to feed her younger brother.

Zhu Bang shook his head and sighed, and shared a piece of rough rice with chopsticks into the bowl next to him. The daughter-in-law favored sons over daughters, and only knew how to make her daughter work without giving him food. If you don't marry a good family, you will suffer the same as in your mother's family, so why bother to live.

Zhu Bang couldn't eat a few mouthfuls of brown rice in the bowl. Just as he was about to put down the bowl and chopsticks, Caiwei who had gone out came in again. He raised his head, the oil lamp was dim, but his old eyes were not cloudy.

"Your mother wants to beat you?"

Zhu Caiwei shook her head, "No, Grandpa, a guest is looking for you."

After so many years, whether it is relatives, friends, colleagues or staff, everything that should be broken is broken, who will come to him?
"who?"

Caiwei shook her head, "Young man, I don't know you."

Could it be that the daughter-in-law asked someone to find a son-in-law for her granddaughter?Zhu Bin hurriedly let them in, he had to personally check and not let the scumbag ruin his granddaughter's happiness.

"Uncle Zhu, I'm sorry to bother you at such a late hour." Shen Chuxia was polite when he came in.

Isn't she a young man? Why is she a little lady? Although Zhu Bin is old, his memory has always been very good. He immediately remembered where he had seen this person before, "Miss Shen, why are you here?"

"I only nodded and smiled twice with the old man, does the old man remember me?"

Zhu Bang rubbed his beard, "It's true that Miss Shen is different from ordinary ladies. If my Awei can be half as capable as Miss Shen, I won't worry about marrying her."

The old man is quite familiar, Shen Chuxia turned over modestly, stepped aside, and introduced Lu Qi and Qian Yuan to him, "If Uncle Zhu likes any of them, he can ask if they are married. wrong."

Zhu Caiwei, who was standing on the side preparing tea, blushed and left Grandpa's room.

Lu Qi and Qian Yuan smiled in embarrassment, and did not answer whether they were married or not. This was just a way for Miss Shen to draw people closer. They just smiled and cooperated.

"Three please sit down."

"Then I won't be polite to Zhu Bo."

The three of them sat down neatly.

"One of the two is Tanhualang, and the other is a second-class Jinshi. I can't afford it." Zhu Bang laughed.

Shen Chuxia smiled and said, "What's wrong with Tanhualang and Erjia Scholars? They also want to eat, drink, and scatter, get wives and have children, don't they?"

"Haha..." Zhu Bang was amused by her and laughed, "I don't know what the little lady came to see the old man at night?"

"Hee hee..." Shen Chuxia looked at the books on the wall behind him, "Uncle Zhu, the books behind you are no less than those in the library."

"There are always things that are not at home."

Shen Chuxia gave a thumbs up, "I have always admired people who are well-read, and Uncle Zhu is amazing."

Shi Bang just smiled politely, "Miss Shen always flatters like this?"

"Yes."

The three thought it was the other party's voice, but after they were taken aback, they found a tall figure standing behind them.

"Your Highness?"

The four stood up together.

Zhu Bang gave up his seat.

Ji Chong flicked his hands, "Mr. Zhu, you're welcome." He casually took the host seat.

When Shen Xiaoniang came over, Zhu Bang vaguely felt that she wanted to do something, but he didn't believe a little lady, but the regent Ji Chong came in person, and he looked at the gate officer Lu, who was making a lot of noise in Beijing, and he was sure that they wanted him to do it Well here we come.

Since last April, when Ji Gao played, Ji Chong, who had always been in a passive position, seemed to be under the guidance of an expert, but slowly took the initiative. This expert was Shen Dexian, the grandfather of Miss Shen, or Shen Jinlin from Dali Temple. not like.

Since Ji Chong has come in person, he doesn't have to be self-effacing, and sits at the head of his family, waiting for them to speak.

He was about to bring up the topic, but when Ji Chong came, he completely changed the atmosphere, and Shen Chuxia was so angry that he wanted to throw up his sleeves and leave.

In the end, if you only dare to think about it, then you dare to walk.

She had to go back to business again, and grinned, "Uncle Zhu, I saw that most of the books on the shelf behind you are about laws and taxation. You have a lot of experience in these things."

Now that the question has been asked, Zhu Bang is not modest, "I have nothing to do, it's okay."

"As a bystander, you have seen the 15-year government of the Great Wei Dynasty."

What a sharp word, what a bystander!
Zhu Bang never imagined that a young lady could soberly point out his perspective on the world for so many years.

She smiled sweetly, "I would like to invite Uncle Zhu to say something in front of Your Highness."
